Hello everyone,

as the title says, I want to import my highscores and - if possible - also the existing v3Arcade games from my current board (3.6.3) to a new one I had to set up for some reason (also 3.6.3). They naturally sit in different directories.
As I understand it the converter tool is set out to import from v3Arcade to ibProArcade sitting in the same forum home.
Can anyone enlighten me, if what I want to do is possible or, if not, how to salvage those highscores some other way?

Thanks for any replies.

Cheers

All the scores, highscores ect. do not affect forum-directory as they are stored in database. So if you convert from v3arcade to ibProArcade the database gets adapted so that all existing entries fit for ibProArcade, nothing more.

Just convert the database (using the converter), setup another forum in another directory, install ibProArcade there, use this database-backup or import it there, and you're done :)
